User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031116 Firebird/0.7+ Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031116 Firebird/0.7+ You can't use Google search toolbar with Japanese words. Every Japanese characters are Unicode-escaped and Google gets them literally without unescaping them. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put Google toolbar in one of toolbars 2. Put some Japanese words in the box, then search Actual Results: Japanese characters are converted to the form like %u30C6%u30B9%u30C8 (te-su-to, or test in Japanese) and Google produces meaningless results, searching %u30C6%u30B9%u30C8 without decoding it Expected Results: Pass it with ordinary encoding method, such as %E3%83%86%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88 This is regression introduced in this month IIRC. English Google can interpret Japanese words and can perform search with them, though Google toolbar in IE can navigate you to Japanese Google while Mozilla just pass it to English Google.
The google toolbar is an extension and not a part of the firebird distribution. Please report bugs to the extension author. -> INVALID
